Habitat and Geography

The Barn Owl is found almost everywhere in the world except in
desert and polar climates. However, the Barn Owl likes to be in the
Southern Hemisphere because the climate conditions are more
favorable (Johnson, 2012).

Barn Owls can be spotted in the open countryside in fields, along
riverbanks, and also on the side of roads. This makes their primary
habitat open plains, low-lying woodland farms, fields, canyons, or
cliffs. In these areas you can find Barn Owls roosting in hollow trees
such as
maples,
pines, and
willows. Barn Owls also perch in
places like caves, wells, thick foliage, or out-buildings
